This one is the most powerful 15" laptop within that price range atm~
Lenovo Ideapad Y580, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GTX660M (2GB) + (1920x1080) + Bluray@RM3599[JBL], 8GB, 1TB HDD(5400rpm), W7HP, 2 years international warranty

You can get a cheaper variant here as well:

13" notebooks with FullHD screens are mostly out of your budget apart from the Zenbook Prime (UX31).
14" notebooks mostly do not come with FullHD, only HD and HD+

Closest, can consider these:
13"
Asus [Ultrabook] UX31A-R4005V, i5-3317U + Intel HD4000 + 128GB SSD + (1920 x 1080)@RM3499[1.3kg], 4GB, W7HP, IPS screen <-- running on ULV-processor, relatively weaker for your autocad and stuffs

14"
Dell
[Ultrabook]XPS 14, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT630M + 32GB SSD + 500GB(5400rpm) HDD + (1600x900)@RM3799[2.1kg], 4GB, 8-cell, backlit, spill resistant keyboard <-- running on ULV-processor, relatively weaker for your autocad and stuffs, over your budget


Sasmung 7 series chronos NP700Z3A, i5-2450M + AMD HD6490M + (1600x900 [14" matte][300nit])@RM3599[2.07kg], 6GB, 1TB, W7HP *13" chassis <--normal processor, normal HDD only

Sony Vaio SVE14A15FGB, i5-2450M + AMD HD7670M + (1600x900)@RM3099[2.3kg], 4GB, 640GB(5400rpm), W7HP <--normal processor, normal HDD only

what do u guys think for Asus N56VZ-S3008V laptop,the price is Rm2699 and is it reasonable with the spec or can get any laptop with more good spec with that price?

-intel i5 3210qm
-nvdia geforce gt 650m
-15.6 inch

depends on what you are using the laptop for, and also whether you only want a 15.6" notebook

Tqvm for the recomendation, seems like i need to consider increase budget upto rm 4.5k and larger screens

hi! i wanna get a new laptop and i'm now comparing between lenovo y580 and dell inspiron 15r special edition. can anyone let me know the pros and cons?

is there any other recommendation, if any?

i'll be using for medium gaming, watching videos and do usual office work.

For your usage and medium-level gaming, the Inspiron 15R SE is already up to the task
BUt why settle for a 15R SE when you can already get a Y580 at that price?

Regardless of which laptop you go for, do remember to extend the warranty to 3 years on-site, would come in handy for a gaming machine

oh ok thanks. got anything to say to persuade me not to buy y580 ah? wanna see if really worth it or not

between this 3 graphic card,which one good for gaming purpose : nvdia geforce gt 650m 2gb, nvdia geforce gt 630m 2gb and amd radeon hd 7670m 2gb?

Nvidia GT650M > Nvidia GT630M = AMD HD7670M

1. Preferred Brand : Dell / Lenoyo ? Asus
2. Budget : Max. RM 3200
3. Usage : HoN , BF3 , Diablo 3 ( at least can play at high setting )
4. Preferred laptop/screen size : 15"

Most important : After sale service

After sales service? Thats gonna be a tad hard.

Can try these:

Dell Inspiron 15R (Special Edition), i7-3612QM + AMD HD7730M + (1920x1080; anti-glare) + 32GB SSD + 1TB HDD(5400rpm)@RM3199, 8GB,backlit keyboard optional (Can't play BF3 on high settings, best at low or mediocre at medium)
Asus N56Vz-S3088V, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT650M@RM2699[Bang&Olufsen], 4GB, 750GB, W7HP, subwoofer and backpack (Not much compliments from majority on after sales service)
Ideapad Y580, i7-3610QM + Nvidia GTX660M (2GB) + (1920x1080) + Bluray@RM3599[JBL], 8GB, 1TB HDD(5400rpm), W7HP, 2 years international warranty (Your best bet)

Asus a43tk with hd7670 1gb ddr3, free dos = rm1309

1. Preferred Brand: HP, DELL or ASUS
2. Budget: 1.5k to 2K
3. Usage:blog,photo editing (photoshop),surfing and for travel
4. Preferred laptop/screen size: 14", prefer thin type but with CD/dvd burner

This one perhaps?
14"
Dell [ultrabook] Inspiron 14z, i3-2367M + Intel HD3000 + 32GB mSATA + 500GB(5400rpm)@RM2099[1.87kg], 4GB, W7HP

is this thin enough and light weight ya??well actually im using dell now..quite durable 6 years liow...now only dvd burner spoil...wonder whether the newer Dell still as durable as the old version..

Whether its thin or light weight enough depends on you?
Here's the link to the specifications: http://www.dell.com/my/p/inspiron-14z-5423...en&s=dhs&~ck=mn

For PC, its better to opt for 3 years warranty for peace of mind
